Lorex Connect Cloud+ - AI Smart Search+
Apps and SoftwareLorex AI Smart Search+ lets you search your video recordings using everyday language (e.g., "package delivered”).
How it works:
- Your video clips are analyzed using AI technology provided by Google Cloud (a third-party service in the U.S.) to create searchable descriptions and tags.
- AI-generated descriptions, vector embeddings, and event metadata are stored to enable natural-language search of your recordings.
- AI-generated data (descriptions, search tags) is stored securely and retained only as long as the associated recording exists and is deleted when you delete the recording or disable the feature.
Lorex does not use your recordings for advertising or unrelated profiling.
